Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of relay technology, and specifically refers to a magnetic latching relay. Background Technology

[0002] A magnetic latching relay is a new type of relay that, like other relays, automatically connects and disconnects circuits. Unlike ordinary relays, which require continuous energization of the coil to maintain their current contact state, the magnetic latching relay's contacts are held open or closed by the magnetic force generated by a permanent magnet. When the relay contacts need to be open or closed, a positive (or negative) DC pulse voltage is applied to the coil, and the relay instantly completes the open / close state transition. When the magnetic latching relay contacts are in the held state, the coil does not need to be continuously energized; the magnetic force of the permanent magnet is sufficient to maintain the relay's state. Currently, in the verification process of magnetic latching relays after production, the anchor point is typically moved after energization to break the balance and ensure sufficient holding and commutating forces to change the contact state. This results in low verification efficiency for magnetic latching relays. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic latching relay, thereby solving the technical problem of low verification efficiency in existing magnetic latching relays.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A magnetic latching relay, comprising an electromagnetic system and a contact system, wherein the electromagnetic system comprises a coil core assembly, a yoke assembly and an armature assembly, the yoke assembly comprises two asymmetrically arranged yokes, yoke one and yoke two, which are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the coil core assembly, and the armature assembly is rotatably fixed on the base, with the two ends of the armature assembly forming a limiting swing contact with yoke one and yoke two respectively.

[0005] Furthermore, yoke one and yoke two are right-angled bends. Yoke one includes a vertical part one and a horizontal part one, and yoke two includes a vertical part two and a horizontal part two. The vertical part one and vertical part two are respectively fixed at both ends of the coil core assembly. The length of the horizontal part two is greater than the length of the horizontal part one.

[0006] Furthermore, the armature assembly includes a permanent magnet and a magnet, with the ends of the first and second horizontal portions respectively located within the opposing permanent magnets. The permanent magnets have a stepped portion on the side closest to the first and second horizontal portions. The permanent magnets can be a symmetrical pair or two pairs, embedded within the magnets and fixed together by injection molding.

[0007] Furthermore, the step portion has two pairs, and the first step surface of the step portion is an inclined surface. When the armature assembly swings, the first step surface will abut against the horizontal portion one and the horizontal portion two.

[0008] Furthermore, the armature assembly includes an integrally formed outer shell and a swing arm, with rotating shafts protruding from both sides of the outer shell, and a clamping plate fixed on the base, the rotating shafts being rotatably fixed to the base and the clamping plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the swing arm is located on the same side as the horizontal part two.

[0010] Furthermore, the contact system includes a moving contact, a stationary contact, and a spring plate. The spring plate and the rocker arm are respectively connected to the two ends of the push plate. The base has a guide groove, and the push plate is located in the guide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the pushing plate includes an upper pushing groove and a lower pushing groove, one end of the spring plate is located in the upper pushing groove, and the rocker arm is located in the lower pushing groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the spring sheet includes a stationary spring sheet and a moving spring sheet that are stacked on top of each other. The end of the stationary spring sheet and the moving spring sheet that are stacked close together is fixed on the first connecting piece. The elastic end of the stationary spring sheet and the moving spring sheet is located in the upper pushing groove. The side of the upper pushing groove that is close to the moving spring sheet is the contact surface, and the contact surface is an inclined surface. The moving contact is fixed on the stationary spring sheet, and the stationary contact is fixed on the second connecting piece. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are fixed on the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the stationary spring has a U-shaped part one and a fixed part in the middle, and the moving spring has a U-shaped part two and a bifurcated elastic part in the middle. The U-shaped part two is located below the U-shaped part one, and the bifurcated elastic part is located below the fixed part. One end of the bifurcated elastic part and the fixed part are both located in the upper push groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of this utility model are as follows: First, by setting the lengths of the first horizontal part and the second horizontal part to be different, the first yoke and the second yoke are set asymmetrically. The asymmetrically set yoke assembly has an asymmetrical torsional force that forces the armature assembly to swing and come into contact with the first horizontal part and the second horizontal part to form a current loop. This allows the magnetic latching relay to have sufficient holding force and commutation force to complete the change of the opening and closing states of the static and moving contacts, forming a calibration structure that does not require debugging, improving calibration efficiency and reducing labor costs. 2. The permanent magnet and the magnetic steel are fixed together by injection molding, and the outer shell and the swing arm are formed by injection molding. The swing arm and the second horizontal part are located on the same side. The permanent magnets symmetrically protrude from both sides of the magnetic steel. There is a receiving space between a pair of permanent magnets on the same side. One end of the first horizontal part and the second horizontal part are located in the receiving space on both sides and can abut against the permanent magnets when they swing to a certain position. The side of the permanent magnet close to the first horizontal part and the second horizontal part has a stepped part. The first step surface of the stepped part is an inclined surface. The armature assembly with this staggered stepped form can enable the magnetic latching relay to have sufficient holding force and commutation force parameters, forming a structure that does not require debugging and verification.
